Yes, I saw that.

I was wondering how many in the forum have tried the earlight. I guess if you are used to having a bluetooth device attached to the ear it wouldn't bother you much.

I was looking around at what's available. I think any of the clip on lights would be difficult since the Libre/Jetbook doesn't have much room on the perimeter to clip something on to without interfering with access to the right sided buttons or the left side slider. I don't know if the sony case with the elastic in the corners would cover up any of the buttons and in any case personally I like the feel of being able to hold the reader in one hand and turn the pages with my thumb.

On the same note, I saw on ebay a seller was selling a similar neck worn 2LED light which uses 3 AAA batteries for only $6.95 free shipping (supposedly lasts 40 hrs). I have a similar type of device sold by Lowe's that is meant as a headlight and they are very light, and I think it works better worn around the neck since it would not move around as much as a headlight and also more comfortable.
